Top Layer

I would like a smoother top layer.  

Is one of the preset Print settings better to use?

The ironing function is intended to smooth top layers - but for your print I would just flip it over and print face down - then your choice of build plate dictates the surface finish.

Cheerio,

Im also not getting a great first layer.  This is Hatchbox, which I usually have good results with.

I looked again, I thought this was Hatchbox, but no -  it;s Jessie premium PLA from  PrintedSolid.com

Im going to go back to my Hatchbox filament.

That's slightly odd - try turning the build sheet over, does the same effect appear on both sides?

Cheerio,
